Liliental
Biggest Tip! Liliental was formed during Dieter Moebius’ creative hiatus from the Krautrock band Cluster. Moebius was supported by Kraan members Helmut Hattler (electric bass), Johannes Pappert (alto saxophone), Okko Becker (keyboards, vocals, guitar, percussion) and Asmus Tietchens (Moog, grand piano). Conny Plank, who also played on several Cluster albums, completed the quartet on guitar, keyboards and vocals. Originally released in 1978 on the Brain label, the band’s only work combined “ambie…
Mirage 2017 Remastered
*Issued in gatefold digipak with clear tray and 16-page booklet.* 'In the long run, this album will establish Klaus Schulze as an outstanding composer of electronic music', said the reviewer of Record World back in 1977 when he heard Mirage. Mirage is a masterpiece. Schulze's flexibility in terms of spirit and final production is shown here in a bizarre electronic winter landscape. The music used for this re-release was carefully transferred from original old analog master-tapes to digital equip…
X 2017 Remastered
*Released in 6-panel Digipak. Includes a 24-page booklet.* This re-release has some little differences from the formerly available CD version. The former CD of "X." was altered in sound and some tracks were a bit shorter as on the original vinyl album. The music used for this re-release was carefully transferred from original old analog mastertapes to digital format. There is a version of "Ludwig", played and recorded live in concert in September 1978 during a show by Klaus Schulze who was accom…

*The CD re-release includes the 33-minute bonus track "C'est Pas La Meme Chose" as well as a 16-page booklet.* "Picture Music" is Klaus Schulze's fourth studio album. It contains two tracks, "Totem" and "Mental Door", which were recorded towards the end of 1974. The LP was released in January 1975 on the legendary Brain label. A British journalist attested to the publication's "hypnotic quality" at the time. In addition to the strong rhythm emphasis, the chirping, rising and falling synthesizer …
Moondawn 2017 Remastered
With "Big Moog" and Harald Grosskopf on drums: The cult album from 1976. For many fans of cosmic music from Germany, Schulze's sixth album "Moondawn", originally released in 1976, is considered a highlight in the musician's oeuvre, which is not exactly lacking in showpieces. Its cult status was due in particular to the use of a "Big Moog" for the first time, which draws attention to itself with a particularly fat sound. Furthermore, "Moondawn" was the first Klaus Schulze production to be made as…
La Vie Electronique 8
*Released in 8-panel Digipak. Includes a 20-page booklet in German and English.* The eighth part of "La Vie Electronique" contains a selection of titles that were created in the years from 1977 onwards, outside of the productions for the albums "Mirage", "Dune" or "Dig It". These showed a significant change in Klaus Schulze's way of playing and composing. This was not least due to the renewal and expansion of his instrument pool. This gave Schulze the opportunity to play and record his music wit…
La Vie Electronique 7
*Released in 8-panel Digipak. Includes a 20-page booklet in German and English.* "Re: People I Know" is the first of two long pieces that Klaus played at his concert in Düsseldorf on September 30, 1977, similar to the impressive piece that Klaus Schulze performed in Brussels the same year at "St. Michael's Cathedral". has played. "Avec Arthur": During the long tour in 1979, Klaus played a long solo piece that filled the first half of the concerts as usual. After the break, Arthur Brown joined fo…

La Vie Electronique 5
The rarities of the electronic pioneer Klaus Schulze were previously released in a strictly limited edition, called "The Ultimate Edition" and document the history and the rich diversity of this exceptional musician, even more impressive than on his official releases. Now these recordings - completely remastered and for the first time in chronological order - are available in elaborate editions: Every episode contains 3 CDs in high-quality "vinyl look" with digipack including booklet with detail…
La Vie Electronique 4
The third in Klaus Schulze's series of three-disc compilations of live and rare material (all of it previously released in his 50-disc Ultimate Edition box from 2000) is pure bliss for fans of early-'70s analog synthesizer music. The melodies swoop and whoosh like comets passing by a slowly drifting space station manned by dudes and ladies in unisex jumpsuits with long, perfectly coiffed hair, and beards on the men. Close your eyes and you're there. Many of these tracks are grouped into half-hou…

La Vie Electronique 2
*Issued in 8-panel digipak with 20-page booklet.* As a member of seminal "kosmische" groups Ash Ra Tempel and Tangerine Dream, and throughout his long and distinguished solo career, Klaus Schulze has emerged as one of the pioneers of modern electronica. Pulsing analog sequencer rhythms and proto-ambient synth drones, presaged developments in techno and trance by nearly two decades. The three-disc set, La Vie Electronique 2, is the second in a comprehensive reissue program focused on rare tracks …
La Vie Electronique 1
In 2009, Klaus D. Mueller and Schulze began releasing La Vie Electronique ("The Electronic Life"), a series of three-CD sets that reissued all the material previously released in these long-deleted box sets, plus a few unreleased tracks, with all the material put back in chronological sequence (the Edition sets mixed things up, time line-wise). Volume 1 covers the years 1968-1972 and is mainly very interesting. One highlight is "I Was Dreaming I Was Awake and Then I Woke Up and Found Myself Asle…
Irrlicht
After his involvement w/ the monster debut albums by both Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, Schulze went solo and this is the first album (originally issued on OHR, 1972). The first of many classic space rock/trance epics; long tracks in which Schulze plays everything (electronic machines, organ, guitar, percussion, much more), this is some of the finest German Kosmiche Musik there, staggering work and really quite underrated once you get outside his cult following.
Cyborg 2017 Remastered
Second solo album of Schulze with a Cosmic Orchestra (12 cellos, 3 basses, 30 violins, 4 flutes) from 1973 (originally issued on Kosmiche Musik). This is a longer, ninety-minute odyssey into the strange musical world of Klaus Schulze as first unveiled on Irrlicht. Electrical sounds, synthesizers and manipulated recordings of classical instruments (cello, violin) combine to create chamber music for the electronic age, divided into four side-long works that each balance the equation differently. O…
